And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. (Genesis 17:3-4) God promised Abraham that he would be the father of “many nations.” “Nations” is the Hebrew word “Goy.” Strong’s Concordance defines “Goy” as a “foreign […]
Does God still do miracles? I would emphatically answer that with a “Yes, He does”! I know this for certain because of personal encounters I’ve had with Him. Here are just a few of these: At age seven I was dying from a lung problem. The doctors were not sure what I had, but they […]
A boy gave up his fish and bread lunch. Jesus used that to feed thousands of hungry souls. An assembly of 120 disciples gave up their fear of persecution. Jesus used that to spread the gospel to the descendants of Israel in every nation. A woman of ill repute at a well ignored her shame. […]
Jonah 1:1-4, Jonah 1:14-17; Jonah 2:1-10; Jonah 3:4-5, 10 What would happen to the account of Jonah if his whale had died? Here are some possible answers to this question: Nothing since the Old Testament says it was a “GREAT FISH.” Jonah becomes wealthy from the sale of whale oil and retires. While blubbering in […]
Question: In “Romans 14:11”- It says every tongue shall confess. The word “confess” can mean to “acknowledge openly and joyfully.” I know this is a verse that Universalists share, especially considering that the word “confess” indicates a joyful (not coerced) confession. I know we should not build our belief on one verse. I just wanted to […]
John 4:23-24 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. In the Body of Christ, all men […]
Psalms 16:11 Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore. A journey of 1,000 miles begins with one step…at least that’s what one unknown traveler said. But, with all due respect, he was wrong. Even the AAA Motor Club will tell […]
Philippians 3:19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) In this verse, Paul is referring to those who are self-serving and have made their lusts their god. The belly was seen as the seat of person’s desires. Paul refers to this same […]
Recently I had this question asked: “The Bible says that the Spirit fell on those believers BEFORE they were baptized, and only in one place does it say anything about tongues, and tongues only happened AFTER the Apostles laid hands on those believers. Isn’t that correct?” The statement in question is only partially correct. The […]
The Jews believed that repentance caused the Messiah to draw nigh. John the Baptist, a Jew, was sent as the forerunner to the Messiah, Jesus. What was John’s message? Repentance! Jesus’ message paralleled John’s. He taught: “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel” (Mar […]
